888 million lbs of pesticides are applied each year in the USA, nearly 3 lbs per person
What’s On My Food? is a searchable database designed to make the public problem of pesticide exposure visible and more understandable.
How does this tool work? We link pesticide food residue data with the toxicology for each chemical, making this information easily searchable for the first time.
Use the tool, share it with others: we built it to help move the public conversation about pesticides into an arena where you don’t have to be an expert to participate.
At Pesticide Action Network (PAN), we believe that pesticides are a public health problem requiring public engagement to solve. We want you to have the information you need to take action based on a solid understanding of the issues. What’s On My Food? builds on PAN’s 28-year tradition of making pesticide science accessible.
Here are some informative slides on the What’s on My Food? website (so of course the learn more links do not work), which of course you should go and visit, just to get a full understanding of the toxic chemicals you are inadvertently eating every day that is impacting your health.
